My Ride: 2006 525i Jet Black (Base + PDC)
Whenever it's raining outside, I found that if I don't have the A/C on, the front windshield blower will blow hot air while the others are blowing cold air.... Is there a humidity sensor or it's activated by the wipers...
Thanks
Thanks

The sensor operates by capacitance variance over RH. The sensor operates indiurectly to cover RH in the auto other than for the surface glass condensation. That being surface (glass) versus airborne convective RH in the car.

yes there is a sensor with the extended AC option. Extend is the one where you can select two different temperatures for driver's and passanger's side....anyway, most of you guys have it....
IMHO the sensor works great. I do not have fogged windows ever. Works perfect
